The Book of Unwritten Tales2 (2014)

The story of Wilbur, Nate, Ivo and the Critter is continued in the
saga’s epic second part. We provide players with classic, puzzle-filled
adventure and the established“The Book of Unwritten Tales” humor.

BoUT2 will likely be the most extensive adventure game of the last
ten years and is supposed to set new optical and technical standards.
The multiplatform game is currently in development, with a release
planned for early 2015.

Concept & Evolution:"The Book of Unwritten Tales" was my first collaboration with developer KING Art Games and began in early 2009.I was asked to write the soundtrack for a humorous adventure game in the style of the old Lucas Arts' adventures. Because I always loved the "Monkey Island" games and this was my first oppurtunity to participate on a bigger commercial game I immediately accepted.After some tests we quickly decided that we wanted a catchy and melodious soundtrack, inspired by all the great adventure movies from the past. Of the almost 60 minutes of music here is a short montage of my personal score highlights:

Digital Soundtrack:A digital soundtrack is available with the "Digital Deluxe Edition" of the game, which can be purchased here.The official soundtrack features approximately 25 minutes of music and contains the following tracks:

1. The Raven Main Theme2. Adventure in the Alps3. Burglary in the Museum4. Sunny Day on the Open Sea5. Constable in Action6. Runaway Train7. Limp Bodies8. Saloon Tune9. He's back10. Hunting for Clues11. At full Speed12. Lurking Menace13. The Raven Overture

The Overture:Another highlight was the orchestra recording for a small part of the game. Under the direction of conductor Bernd Ruf,the wonderful 65-strong “Brandenburgische Staatsorchester Frankfurt/Oder” recorded the overture, which interweavesthe most important themes of the game.It was a memorable moment for me, which made my music alive.
